Photographer's Note

Alexandria is the second largest city and the second largest metropolitan area in Egypt after Greater Cairo by size and number of population of 4.1 million, extending about 32 km along the coast of the Mediterranean Sea in the north central part of the country. It is also the largest city lying directly on the Mediterranean coast. Alexandria is Egypt's largest seaport, serving approximately 80% of Egypt's imports and exports. It is an important industrial center because of its natural gas and oil pipelines from Suez. Alexandria is also an important tourist resort.
Alexandria was founded around a small Ancient Egyptian town c. 331 BC by Alexander the Great. It became an important centre of the Hellenistic civilization and remained the capital of Hellenistic and Roman & Byzantine Egypt for almost one thousand years until the Muslim conquest of Egypt in AD 641, when a new capital was founded at Fustat (later absorbed into Cairo). Hellenistic Alexandria was best known for the Lighthouse of Alexandria (Pharos), one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World; its Great Library (the largest in the ancient world; now replaced by a modern one); and the Necropolis, one of the Seven Wonders of the Middle Ages. Ongoing maritime archaeology in the harbor of Alexandria, which began in 1994, is revealing details of Alexandria both before the arrival of Alexander, when a city named Rhacotis existed there, and during the Ptolemaic dynasty.
From the late 19th century, Alexandria became a major center of the international shipping industry and one of the most important trading centers in the world, both because it profited from the easy overland connection between the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea, and the lucrative trade in Egyptian cotton.

Hi Sibelsahin. Spectacular sky, nice red buildings color (although quite far away). I like the panoramic format but the photo looks a bit unbalanced to me because of the horizon line not being in the middle (not always necessary, but that's what I think for this one). It might be better to have included more sea, but if the sea was not interesting then you did well to keep it out. The sky being so nice, you shouldn't crop it, but the photo might improve if you squeezed the sky with the photoshop content aware tool to bring the buildings nearer the horizontal middle of the image. Welcome to TE!

Good afternoon.
Nice view and a second ...
A good second shot, nice city and shown the moment the clouds, beautiful colors.
Would reduce clouds and pointed architecture.
Welcome to TE, all the best in your future work, good luck.
Nice afternoon and all the best for the weekend with beautiful memories of a visit to Alexandria.
Paja.
